The NBA is emphasizing long-distance shots more and more by the year. Curry is the only player in NBA history with more than 500 playoff 3-pointers, and obviously, for a duo to reach 1,000, someone needs to have crossed 500. Golden State's duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson entered Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals with 999 career postseason 3-pointers between the two of them.

Klay Thompson's historic 3-point shooting made two more marks in the record books during Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals.

Thompson’s night of 3-point achievement came exactly three years after the five-time All-Star suffered a torn ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals against Toronto. The Warriors missed the playoffs the next two seasons, which Thompson missed while recovering from that injury and a torn Achilles tendon. The evolution of the long ball and the Warriors’ recent dominance has made the 3-point shot a historically prominent part of the NBA Finals. Thompson’s first 3-pointer of Game 5 was also the 1,000th postseason 3 made by him or Curry. The achievement highlights the duo, long nicknamed the Splash Brothers, and its long-distance dominance since making its playoff debut in 2013.
